A Spectrum News article highlights @ox.ac.uk  research which found that a new non-invasive scan could detect early-stage #Endometriosis.

New tool could change the way endometriosis is diagnosed

 In the U.S., it takes on average about 12 years for a woman with endometriosis to get a diagnosis. A new tool could change that.

#WIMMReads🧪 Ahmed Group's early access study identifies specialised immune cells in the fallopian tube that may help detect #OvarianCancer at its earliest stages. Findings could inform future immunotherapies and prevention strategies. #AcademicSky

Even the most advanced AI is only as good as the data behind it. New @Nature Comms study finds that when important clinical information is missing from routine healthcare records, even advanced AI can't reliably reproduce clinical trial findings. https://www.wrh.ox.ac.uk/news/research20260722

Published in @natmed.nature.com , our study has found that the relative cardiovascular benefit of blood pressure-lowering treatment is observed early after treatment begins and stays broadly stable over time.

Blood pressure-lowering benefits emerge early and do not build up over time

An analysis of data from more than 358,000 participants has found that the cardiovascular benefits of blood pressure-lowering treatment are established within months of starting therapy and do not progressively increase with longer treatment.
